Between the Poets and the Preachers is the third poetry and prose collection from independent author Joshua T. Wells - and perhaps his most ambitious. In fourteen sweeping sections, Wells plants himself at the intersection of civilization and collapse, faith and doubt, personal reckoning and cultural mythology, refusing to belong entirely to any one world.
The collection opens with mythological provocation - invoking Egyptian gods, fallen empires, and cosmic cycles - before unfolding into something far more intimate: the voice of an American writer who has walked through fire and come out still searching. Wells draws on the ruins of Rome and Carthage, the burning of Alexandria, the legacy of Walt Whitman's "Poets to Come," and the spiritual landscapes of the books Maryland roots to build a poetry that is simultaneously historical and confessional.
At its heart, this book is about survival - of faith under pressure, of identity under erasure, of love through chaos. Wells moves fluidly between lyric poetry, prophetic prose, and raw personal narrative. He challenges organized religion without abandoning God, interrogates power without losing hope, and names the darkness in his own life without letting it win.
Between the Poets and the Preachers speaks to readers who have stood in that uncertain space between belief and questions, between art and doctrine, between who they were and who they are becoming. It is a book for poets, for preachers, and for everyone in between.
